What's Your Most Recent NSV

My NSV was CRUSHING my Apple Watch’s achievements this week, including perfect move, exercise, and the New Year! (could’ve had stand and new year if i didn’t get 11/12 on New Year’s Day). I was running quite a bit around this time last year and injured myself, so it feels good to be back and knowing I’m doing this smarter and safer than before.

This may sound silly... But I was reaching up for something above my mirror stand and let out an audible and involuntary gasp of surprise because OMG there was a reflection of an amazing set of abdominal muscles! *kitten*! I'm looking really strong now! It's awesome!

On another note, I recently exceeded my goal of lowering my body fat %, and am now on the low end of my age/height/etc. group. I am officially lean and fit!

Had a death in the blended family this week, no problems until THAT side started doing what they do best, which is thinking up ways to make THEIR responsibilities MY problem, even while they sit there with the whole week off and I have to work. The NSV is that I did not turn to a huge plate of spaghetti and a bottle of Merlot to cope with the stress.

One NSV I didn't count on was better sleep. Now that I've been exercising faithfully for a month, I sleep less fitfully and wake up more refreshed. Who knew? (everyone probably, ha ha) It sure helps to tackle your day not feeling so groggy. Love all the progress pics for motivation!

I had a similar thing...

...Who knew that losing a few lbs would result in no longer snoring?

I'm shaking as I type this: My surgery is now officially scheduled. By springtime, I'll have regained mobility and will be pain-free.

My injury and pain were not caused by my weight, yet multiple doctors rejected me for a host of weight/nutrition related reasons. It took 147 days of determination, but the day finally came that they couldn't reject me anymore because the reasons are gone.

Six months ago, I couldn't really believe I could do it. Inch by inch, I made better and better food choices which I carefully logged here, with you folks cheering me on and sharing your own victories, which helped build my confidence. YOU ARE THE BEST!

Fantastic news!!! Sending you all the good vibes for successful surgery, swift recovery and continued success in working toward your goals!

Wednesday's normal routine is gym and then Aquarobics.

This morning was tough. Really tough after the Christmas shut down; but I powered through and did it anyway and now I feel fabulous *grins*

Heard that. Back to the gym this morning after a couple of weeks off. One thing I have learned on this journey - I am always glad that I have gone to the gym after the workout is done. That has motivated me to drag my carcass out of bed several times.

I went out for a walk today. The temp was in the teens. I had so many layers on I looked like a line backer! I thought I might keep it quick and do a smaller loop, but I hit my stride and did my normal 4.5 mi route!

I want to share this one... 14 months ago, I was wearing 34 sized jeans (and they were very tight). Today I comfortably wore a size 31. I'm so thrilled!

I had 263 calories left over and decided I could have a treat tonight since hubby bought these peanut butter and chocolate bears from the girl scouts before i started watching what i eat more carefully for my birthday. Instead of indulging in the full serving size of 4 bears. I only had 2. For me to control my chocolate and peanut butter treats like that is huge.

i put on a pair of jeans i haven't worn in almost a year, and realized at school they were way too big around my waist and nearly falling off. my friend lent me a belt to wear, and i had to put it on the smallest size.

MySlimGoals

Someone else posted theirs. I’ve also been doing the same challenge with my Apple Watch. First time I’ve had a streak over a day of all my rings closed. So I won the Ring in the New Year challenge as well and it’s so pretty 😍

My goal was a 3 mile fitness walk and i did a 4 mile fitness walk instead

Nine weeks into my new running program (C25K) and my BP has gone from 120/70 to 92/58. And OMG I have so much more energy.

I just now saw that someone clicked "disagree" on this. LOL. You can disagree all you want, it does not change my health status, energy levels, or biomarkers. SMH.

Since I posted this I ran my first 5K... This was last December, and I finished with a pace of 9'12"/mile. :-) Not too bad for an old guy who hadn't run since Freshman PE class 39 years earlier.

I don't even have s scale victory as yet but my NSV for today is that we went out for dinner tonight at a seafood restaurant. I ordered calamari, hake and prawns, grilled with a side of chips....i had intended to give half of the fries to hubby but he said he didn't want them so, i had my "meats" and three, literally three fries and left the rest....super proud of myself. Oh and i have been to gym every single day since i started this journey Monday the 6th.

Hey there Mr. Wobbly! I am grateful for all the supportive çomments you give to me and other new runners.

My most recent NSV - I've been a size Medium for a very long time and so for Christmas, dh bought me 3 size medium clothing items. They were all too big, we returned them all and the smalls fit perfectly. I basically live in tee shirts and leggings and hadn't realized I was a smaller size.

On my way to the gym today I drove past the McDonalds I would frequently visit on my way from work. I felt no desire to go their and it was a crazy good feeling to drive right past my unhealthy choice on my way to a new healthy one!

Today...
One colleague squealed with glee getting other colleagues to look in my direction, "You're shrinking!!!"
My other colleague looked at me with hot jealously when she said that and said jokingly, "aw... get outta here... " (she loves me and very candid with each other so not trying to offend) Another colleague asked if it was because I was walking still (I usually walk once a week with another colleague to pray over our school)
Another colleague looked admiringly calling me, "Skinny!" I just raised a hallelujah and said thank you.

Today I realized I could detect another bone lurking under my squishy surface. The bump along your side is your pelvis, apparently 😁

Congrats! I was a medium last year, but the other day I went shopping and bought myself a SMALL top! I wore it to work yesterday and the first person that saw me complimented it. Great start to the morning!

I really didn't want to get up this morning when the alarm went off.

Hit snooze and darn it, the annoying thing went off again just seconds later (or so it seemed).

Killed it and dragged my sorry butt out of bed. Sat on the edge of the bed, thinking, "WHY am I doing this?" but eventually shifted myself into the bathroom and then woke my son up as today is parkrun day.

Got to the run, needed the toilet and had to clean up after the previous occupant (ugh, not nice considering that the previous person was a fully-fledged adult - some people).

Started the run/walk I am doing at the moment. Was annoyed by the testosterone-fulled participants who either scream at you, "fast runner, get over!" when we are already over to one side (what IS that about?) or barge past without any consideration for others. Also irritated by a few people who have no spacial awareness and knocked into me. This irritates me as I often have painful joints and don't need any external forces on them (and it's always elbows that get knocked). Normally I just think, "idiots" and carry on bit I was tired and a more than a little irritable.

We just did our own thing and enjoyed the run overall. Got back and found that our time, although really slow in comparison to times we used to achieve, was pretty good for recent weeks and was the fastest we'd done in several weeks.

Very, very happy with it and it has inspired me to try and beat it next week!

Three different people have commented how much they like my new haircut. Hmmm...Same haircut I’ve always had. Perhaps my face finally looks thinner!

Finally reached my high school weight again (1st time was before holidays)30 years later after losing the holiday poundage this past month. Hallelujah, praise the Lord!!! Sorry sort of related to scale but excluding numbers.
